High Schools in Van Buren Public Schools

Summary:

Van Buren Public Schools operates a single high school, Belleville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The district is located in Michigan and the high school's performance metrics, such as test scores and graduation rates, are generally below the state averages.

Belleville High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 514 out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 383 out of 739 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments, such as the M-Step and SAT, is below the state averages in most subject areas. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average.

Despite the district's apparent investment in the school, with per-student spending of $16,519 (higher than the state average) and a student-teacher ratio of 22.4, the academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the level of resources. The school serves a population with a high percentage (49.62%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.
